SPECIAL TEAMS
Though they're usually the last guys you hear about on
the football field, having quality special teams can make
a difference in the game. Good punters can pin your
opponent inside their own 5-yard line. A good punt or
kick returner can break free of the defenders and score a
game-changing touchdown.
KICKING THE BALL
1.
Set the ball trajectory and direction with the left
thumbstick. Be sure you take into account the
movement of the arrow - it will drift if you let go
of the left thumbstick.

Coach's Corner: Kick the ball!
Too often players get in the habit of going for it on
fourth down. In real life teams rarely go for it, but it
seems that players on the digital gridiron go for it far
too often. Kick the ball and let your defense take care
of business. If you don't make the first down, your
opponent will wind up with better field position.
